Patent number: 10492764Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a selection unit, and a display control unit. The acquisition unit acquires a medical image accompanied by supplementary information indicating a site. The selection unit selects one of a plurality of instruction instruments each corresponding to a site. The display control unit displays the medical image, the instruction instrument, and an ultrasound image together on a display. Upon receipt of a change instruction to change either the instruction instrument or the medical image, the selection unit newly selects the medical image or the instruction instrument corresponding to the instruction instrument or the medical image after the change. The display control unit displays the instruction instrument or the medical image after the change, the medical image or the instruction instrument newly selected, and the ultrasound image together.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Yoshihiro Oomori, Go Tanaka, Eiji Goto, Osamu Nakajima, Takayuki Gunji

Patent number: 10136877Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a parameter setting unit, a Fly Thru image generating unit, and a controlling unit. The parameter setting unit sets a value of an image quality adjusting parameter used for generating a PVR image obtained by projecting the inside of a lumen from a predetermined viewpoint, on the basis of information about the lumen rendered in an MPR image generated by using volume data. The Fly Thru image generating unit generates the PVR image by using the value of the image quality adjusting parameter that was set. The controlling unit then causes a monitor to display the PVR image.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Go Tanaka, Kazuya Akaki, Yoshihiro Oomori, Satoshi Matsunaga, Tetsuya Higashi

Patent number: 9192356Abstract: The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to the embodiment includes an ultrasound probe that transmits and receives ultrasound waves to and from a subject, and generates and displays images of the inside of the subject based on the reception results from the ultrasound probe. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a memory, a detector, a selection part, and a processor. The memory stores association information that associates positions in real space with examination conditions including image quality conditions and/or application type. The detector detects the position of the ultrasound probe in real space. The selection part selects examination conditions corresponding to the detected position based on the association information. The processor performs processing based on the selected examination conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Satoshi Matsunaga, Masatoshi Nishino, Jiro Higuchi, Osamu Nakajima, Yoshihiro Oomori, Tomokazu Fujii

Patent number: 8945012Abstract: A region-of-interest setting unit sets a region of interest to be included in an ultrasound image. A first movement-amount calculating unit sequentially calculates a movement amount of the set region of interest between reception data along the time sequence as a first movement amount. A transmitting-receiving delay-amount computing unit computes a delay amount for sequentially shifting a scan region of an ultrasonic beam based on the sequentially calculated first movement amount. A computation/control circuit performs control so as to generate a high voltage pulse based on the computed delay amount. A second movement-amount calculating unit sequentially calculates a movement amount of the region of interest between image data along the time sequence as a second movement amount. A display-position correcting unit performs a correction such that the region of interest included in the image data is to be displayed at the same display position, based on the second movement amount.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Yoichi Ogasawara, Yoshihiro Oomori, Kazuya Akaki, Osamu Nakajima

Publication number: 20140336511Abstract: Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and a medical picture projection apparatus are provided, simply operating the apparatus in a less loaded posture without losing the variety of operation functions, comprising: an ultrasound probe; signal processor; a display controller; a projector; storage; a determining unit; and a controller. The ultrasound probe scans a subject using ultrasound waves. Signal processor applies signal processing on a first output signal from the ultrasound probe. The display controller causes displaying images based on second output signal from signal processor. The projector projects pictures. Storage preliminarily stores first related information associating an area corresponding to a picture with the operation content among the ultrasound probe, signal processor, the display controller, and the projector. The determining unit determines whether or not at least one part of an object is located within the area indicated in first related information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicants: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi HOSHINO, Junho CHA, Tomokazu FUJII, Yoshihiro OOMORI
